Personal Quotes 

We both keep a journal, we write every day. I started first and then I convinced Dylan to start his.
When I think about our careers, I don't really look at it as fame and fortune, I look at it as fun. I'd rather have a good time on set, have fun and mess around. And I love fans.
Acting requires a great amount of empathy for real, lived human experiences. I hadn't lived any real human experiences outside of home-school and being in a sound stage, and there was really no other option. I couldn't continue to live in a bubble and hope to be an empathetic actor. It doesn't work.
I think regardless of success, all those kids were dealing with a similar dilemma when it came to their maturity and their publicity and fame, and how they were viewed in the public eye. Some people choose sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll to come to terms with it. Some people find religion. [College] seemed like the most productive way to prove to people we were coming into ourselves. I was finding out my identity and growing by going to an institution where I could evolve and become more adept at understanding why I was thinking certain things, and how society viewed me.
